<p>Is this a bug? <code>[`Eq`]</code> ended up linking to the <code>eq</code> method instead of the <code>Eq</code> trait.</p>

<p>is there a preference for either <code>[blah][Eq]</code> or <code>[blah](Eq)</code>? I've seen both. seems like the only difference it makes is that the second one becomes a broken link, and the first one becomes just the literal text with all four brackets, when the link is wrong. (but both warn anyway)</p>
